DOAP and the GForge Ontology

Background

SemWebCentral provides RDF export of all its data:

whole site (View with RDF Goggles)
project example (View with RDF Goggles)
people example (View with RDF Goggles)

To do that, it uses the GForge ontology, which is related to the DOAP ontology in many points.

Mappings

Translation Services

To be done, I'm working on a such service. -- AlexandrePassant

May not be necessary. I may have SemWebCentral output the more common constructs (SIOC, DOAP), while maintaining the alignment in the GForge ontology (e.g. gf:Project rdfs:subClassOf doap:Project) -- TroySelf
